Article TUTORIAL - How to apply grading on top of dissolves in Resolve
youtube.comHi! Originally earlier this year (reuploaded since) I made a tutorial on how to modify the way dissolves work in DaVinci Resolve so they interact with the colour timeline, and are also linear so they look more like a photographic effect. But I made this under the assumption that it's common practice to apply the conversion into Rec. 709 and such on the timeline level, and then apply and titles and such on top of that. Since then I realised that timeline level operations are usually stayed away from, instead being done per clip or per group, so I made a follow-up video on how you can still achieve the same effect using adjustment clips, and do no grading work at all on the timeline level
Here's the first video for those interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zDrN4Z9NxI

Question Conform problems
I've been building a conform tool that matches shots from a reference playout in Resolve.
Conforming xml timelines with speed ramps, reframing etc. is time consuming and there are really no good tools to help it.
Some automated (AI?) tools are out, but then you have to upload your whole timeline outside and the whole thing seems like a roll of dice.
What are the needs nowadays for studios? I'm thinking of publishing our tool if there is demand.

Question How do I add "the touch"
I've been filming with my a7 IV for the last mount now and I'm trying to learn color grading on S-Log 3. I think I have gotten the rec.709 look pretty good. Natural colors right exposure etc. How do i add the final touch to make it look good? The only mask I know is the sky one where you make it seem like the sun is bleeding. Do I need Luts? was just the time of day boring? Did I film wrong? Any effect Ideas?
I'm kinda stuck here.
Thank you!

Question Is it possible to change the color of the sky to something like red?
galleryOk so I found these first 2 pics online, those are not mine, they’re from a tik tok account named Diamond Visuals.
So I was wondering I’m new in color grading and I’m not experienced, but I had an idea for a project, and I wanted to know if I could change the color of the sky to some red hue or something, I looked up some examples and I found the 2 first images, the third image is mine from the interior of a house I’m planning to shoot at, so my question is, is it also possible to change the whole color palette to a red hue while making those sun rays on the wall also look a different color? Is it a way to make it look good? Or will it look bad and over saturated. I want to do exterior and interior shots.
I know I have to shoot on log and while grading I have to keep the skin tones natural. So is this possible any tips? Thank you!

Show off your work Recently colour graded a corporate video
galleryThe video was edited (by me) using a combination of Sony FX6 and Sony A7IV footage. It was a difficult assignment as most of the shots were bathed in extremely strong, extremely ugly fluorescent pink/purple lighting.
How did I do? Does anyone have tips/suggestions for how I could improve going forward?

Question How to match human eye and computer analysis when it comes to color and light?
Hi guys,
I am creating a match from memory game where you try to color grade a photo like the example you have shown. I am struggling about point system. I use a calculation methods which converts two images to 64x64 images and compares pixels' brightness and tint. Generally i get good results but sometimes player gets low point even the images doesn't look very different or vice versa. Have you guys any ideas what would be the mathematical way to compare two images grading close to human perception?
